Plan Your Field Trip

Free admission tickets are available to school groups if the field trip has been scheduled through Visitor Services at least 1 month in advance.

The Museum offers free admission tickets to school groups if the field trip has been scheduled through Visitor Services at least 1 month in advance. Field trips are available Monday - Thursday during the academic school year.

School field trips are defined as requests from teachers who teach students in grades K - 12 attending recognized schools (public, private, charter, home school, etc.) during the academic school year.

Reschedule/Cancel a Field Trip

While the Museum tries to accommodate schedule changes, we cannot guarantee the availability of admission tickets if school groups are not able to visit at the originally scheduled day and time.

The Museum cannot guarantee entry to school groups arriving 30 or more minutes late for the originally scheduled time. After 30 minutes, the Museum reserves the right to release the tickets to other visitors.

Younger Visitors

The following basic rules apply to make everyone's experience safe and enjoyable:

Visitors under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult at all times.

Teachers and chaperones are expected to maintain control and discipline of their students. Groups who do not follow the rules may be asked to leave.

Teachers and chaperones must remain with younger visitors when in the exhibit galleries, the classroom, Cafe43, the courtyard, gift shop, as well as when on the Bush Center grounds.

Food and beverages are prohibited in the Museum. This includes candy, gum, and water bottles.

Use caution and care, do not lean on exhibit displays or use them in a manner not intended.

Students should use indoor voices and refrain from running.

Flash photography is prohibited in most areas of the Museum. Ask a Docent (volunteer guide) if there are photography restrictions in a particular location.
